Recidivism Among Juvenile Offenders in New York City. Final report
Publication year:

May. 25, 2007
ANNOTATION: Recidivism of juvenile offenders in all five boroughs of New York City is examined with the added measure of juveniles' time at risk to a violent felony offense (VFO). Five sections follow an introduction: data and methodology; comparisons of case processing by borough; re-arrest; multivariate models -- the First Re-Arrest Model and the VFO (violent felony offense) Model; and conclusion. It appears "that the way juvenile cases are processed in Manhattan Supreme Court with its emphasis on placement programs under court supervision may not only delay the initial re-arrest but also may reduce the likelihood of re-arrest for the most serious offenses" (p. 27).
